NetReg - How to Register a New Computer
You can use NetReg DHCP in most places at WHOI. To register a new
computer to use DHCP, you will need:
- a WHOI LDAP (email) account
(or a sponsor who has a WHOI LDAP account)
- an active Ethernet jack - call the CIS Helpdesk at x-2439
if you do not know the jack's status
- to have your computer configured to obtain an IP address via DHCP (this
is the default on new computers).
Important! Before connecting to WHOInet, be a good network citizen:
- Install all security patches for your OS
- Run anti-virus software with current definitions
- Turn off all net services that you will not need
To register a desktop computer, workstation or any other machine with a DHCP client and a Web browser, do the following:
- plug the unregistered computer
into an active Ethernet jack,
- open up a Web browser on the unregistered computer,
and go to https://netreg.whoi.edu/.
You should see the registration page. You will be prompted for your
WHOI LDAP (email) name and password and then for a hostname for your new
computer. (Networked devices which do not have DHCP clients and/or Web
browsers can be registered from any already-registered computer.)
